This is oddly addictive: I first saw this over on The Bedroom List (an awesome blog, btw, but probably NSFS). Please Leave On, the creator of this video, is Canadian. Yeah! If you can’t get enough of that, here’s another one. Don’t take the long way; you might miss it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NFHLymjrdU

…it’s a part of my rock and roll fantasy…
It just will never get cooler than this. I wish I could remember where I found this image. Bonus: two of these people are Canucks. Can you guess which ones?
For some reason, I needed to hear Devo’s “Whip It”, so I headed over to YouTube and found this:
I was just a kid when that song came out, but I still love it. The video is a little questionable, though—slightly racist, slightly misogynistic. Still, gotta love that song.
I had to make that a link, because embedding of that video has been disabled at the request of Devo, which is a bit of a pisser, because it’s not taking anything away from them for people to watch a video hosted on their YouTube channel which is displayed here. Hosers.
Thanks

Some people prefer plastic cutting boards in the mistaken belief that plastic ones don’t allow bacteria …read more…

let’s make biscuits!
This has been a pretty strange day. I slept far later than I intended to—about 10:30. (Those of you who know me in real life know that 8:00 am is sleeping in for me, so 10:30 is like coming out of a coma.) Yesterday was a long day—about fourteen hours between the two jobs—and while …read more…
aliens keep stealing my pencils
I always take along a bunch of sharpened pencils when I substitute teach. I don’t want a kid sitting there doing nothing because they don’t have something to write with, and you would be surprised how many teachers don’t provide any sort of writing implement, and how many don’t have a functioning pencil sharpener in …read more…
